There was a weird scene in the middle of the parade of nations at the opening ceremony of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.

Two men dressed as President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un came down the steps leading to the area where the media was sitting and once at the first row, turned and started waving to the crowd.

At first no one reacted, but slowly media and spectators descended on the pair, snapping photos and shooting video with their phones. It all lasted about a minute before the volunteers in the area walked over to escort them back to their seats.

A delegation from North Korea marched into the stadium with athletes from South Korea. They entered behind a white flag emblazoned with a map of the Korean peninsula.

The Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the first Games held in South Korea in 30 years, officially opened on Friday with fireworks, song and symbolism featured amid celebrations of light, peace, and harmony.

With nods to the country’s landmarks and ancient culture as well as its potential to lead the world in future technological innovations, the opening ceremony at Olympic Stadium featured athletes from 91 countries, including a delegation from North Korea that marched into Olympic Stadium with athletes from South Korea. Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un; U.S. Vice President Mike Pence and International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach were among the powerful political and sports figures who attended the extravaganza on a chilly night.

The two Koreas marched in behind a white flag that was emblazoned with a map of the Korean peninsula depicted in blue. North Korean women’s hockey player Hwang Chung-gum and South Korean bobsleigh pilot Won Yun-jong both clutched the flag pole in a noteworthy display of unity. The two nations have marched together at an Olympics but this time have taken the extraordinary step of combining on the composition of the women’s hockey team.

A lot was made in the lead-up to the opening ceremony about the freezing temperatures. Our own David Wharton wrote about the weather conditions and how it would change how the athletes and the fans would experience the Games.

Well, we can report that it is indeed very cold inside the stadium and we are still about two hours from the official start of the Games. The wind is picking up and the metal bleachers inside the stadium already are very difficult to sit on.

The temperature at 6:20 p.m. local time is 27 degrees with a wind chill of 17, and it’s expected to drop as the sun sets.
